- Methods – How do you plan to answer your question? What tools and techniques will you use to create and analyze your data?
- Presentation – How will you present the results? How will you integrate archival sources and data? What intellectual property issues do you need to be aware of?
- Timeline – Following the general project outline, what do you need to do each week?
- Teamwork – Who is responsible for what? Where will you work individually and where will you work collaboratively?
